Verona defeat Juventus 2-1 in a massive upset

Serie A leaders Juventus were defeated 2-1 by Hellas Verona in a massive upset that some experts say suggest Juventus' over-reliance on star player Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo broke a Juventus record by scoring in his 10th consecutive league game, but Verona came back with an equalizer from Borini and a late-game penalty goal by Pazzini to win the match.
